i3 Window Manager Scripts
These are python scripts that read/write to i3 using i3-msg. By using regular expressions it is possible to search for windows with particular names and jump to them.
Dependencies: i3, i3-msg (distributed with i3), rofi
There are 4 scripts: nextmatch, nextfind, goto, mark
Syntax: nextfind
This script provides a rofi list of arguments. If you select one a window that is active and there are multiple with the same name then it jumps to the next one, otherwise it stays at the current.
Example Binding:
bindsym $mod+e exec python ~/.config/i3/nextfind # use rofi to select an open window
demo:
To install just put the scripts in your path, or bind the scripts in you config file.
cp common.py nextfind ~/.config/i3/
